Greetings, After finding article Uppaluri, I checked at "Find link" here and see 20 plus people with the Uppaluri surname. Asking for help here if anyone interested would like to make a surname list article? I did search & found List of people with surname Jones, so I see how this can be done. Wondering if any WP member here is willing to build a similar list. Regards, JoeNMLC ( talk) 18:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Madonna#Requested move 1 June 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Dawid2009 ( talk) 14:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Looking at articles about names, there's two clear sets that I would separate more on coverage/quality than saying they are different types. However, the differences cause a problem. First you have detailed articles with some etymology and anthroponomy (great), and then you have what are mere listicles of people with the name - or (the problem) a name with a different origin that is spelled the same. When I improved Agron (surname), for example, I wrote about both separately but it might be better to have multiple articles. Or look at the Romeu listicle, which has a given name of one origin and a surname of another all on the same page.
Surely it is more logical to split articles and listicles into separate articles for separate origins, so that these can (now or later) be developed into articles that actually encyclopedically cover the history and usage of the name without getting wires crossed. (And on the other hand, you'd expect examples like Walsh (surname) and Branagh to be merged for the same reason.) Kingsif ( talk) 23:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
another problem: the thousands of pages which currently have nothing about etymology when such information is easily available- honestly, I might just start trying to solve that problem, and splitting/expanding/whatever where necessary. Kingsif ( talk) 12:33, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Taylor (given name). Should first–middle name pairs like "John Taylor" have a name page? — Bagumba ( talk) 13:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
For example, most Indonesian people don't really have surnames ( Indonesian_names#Naming_forms). Thoughts on how something like Arianto should be categorized? Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 16:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
These four names for people appear to be variants of the same root name with slight spelling variations. However, three of them have their own disambiguation pages, with people lists which sometimes overlap. I would like to consider moving all the real people page links into a single disambiguation page, as follows:
- No changes to disambiguation pages links for Places, Other uses or Fictional characters sections.
- Gervais (name): to be the main target page for disambiguation (it holds the most occurrences of the name).
- Gervaise (disambiguation): point current People section to Gervais (name). Move current list of people to Gervais (name).
- Gervase (disambiguation): create a new People section, pointing to Gervais (name). Move current list of people to Gervais (name).
- Gervas: create a new disambiguation page with a People section pointing to Gervais (name).
Can this WikiProject advise if this is the right approach? Masato.harada ( talk) 14:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
